Sorry, I know this is asked all the time.
I'm specifically looking for a female OB who delivers at Baptist. I'd even prefer someone who has had a child herself. I know it sounds picky, but I'm weird about this. I've had many male GYNs, but when it comes to pregnancy I'd like someone who's "been there."
Any recommendations?
Re: ob/gyn recs?
no recs. I delivered at Williamson but congrats on being PG.

Dr. Sharon Norman at WOMEN in the building connected to Baptist. She delivers at Baptist (check) and has a daughter (check, check). I had to see Dr. Ann Scott once during my pregnancy and she was great too. Two friends see Dr. Schlecter there...you can't go wrong with any of the docs!
The only complaint that I have is that if you do not deliver during the week, during the day, you will have the doctor who is on call (regardless of if your doc is in town)...but they do not have a policy where you meet all of the docs during your prenatal visit. This may be standard practice at other offices, but it just bummed be out a little since I like Dr. Norman so much. I ended up having a c-section at 2 in the morning when she was on call, so it ended up being 'no big deal' I guess.
Wow. Didn't mean to make that so long! Congrats on your BFP! My boss is getting ready to have her ER this next week at NFC--lots of anxiousness around my office for her!
Good luck on your search!
I just love her, and switched from Dr. Oldfield who was my GYN for years,and a good one, but I felt she was a little too nonchalant for me when I talked to her about TTC. IAlso had a co-worker who had a bad expereince with her a few years ago when they were pregnant. I am sure others like the pp have had great experiences with her, but wanted to share my POV.
I switched to her after a bad experience with a doc at Williamson, and could not be happier that I did!!
Good luck and I am so happy for you to have gotten your BFP!! Congrats!!
For years I went to Woods & Cain-Swope at St. Thomas (they deliver at Baptist). My doc was Allison Strnad but I liked all of them (there's 4). I only switched because my insurance changed. I now go to Erin Yu at Women's Medical Associates. Their office is next to Centennial and they deliver there and Baptist. So far I really like her.
